For The Greater Good Of God Lyrics - A Matter Of Life And Death - Iron Maiden

Are you a man of peace 

Or a man of holy war? 

Too many sides to you 

Don't know which anymore 

So many full of life 

But also filled with pain 

Don't know just how many 

Will live to breathe again 

A life that's made to breath 

Destruction or defense 

A mind that's vain, corruption 

Bad or good intent 

A wolf in sheep's clothing 

Or saintly or sinner 

Or some that would believe 

A holy war winner

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They fire off many shots 

And many parting blows 

Their actions beyond a reasoning 

Only God would know 

And as He lies in Heaven 

Or it could be in Hell 

I feel He's somewhere here 

Or looking from below 

But I don't know, I don't know 

Please tell me now what life is 

Please tell me now what love is 

Well, tell me now what war is 

Again, tell me what life is 

More pain and misery 

In the history of mankind 

Sometimes it seems more like 

The blind leading the blind 

Photos 

It brings upon us more 

A famine, death and war 

You know religion has 

A lot to answer for 

Please tell me now what life is 

Please tell me now what love is 

Well, tell me now what war is 

Again, tell me what life is 

And as they search to find 

The bodies in the sand 

They find its ashes that are 

Scattered across the land 

And as the spirits seem 

To whistle on the wind 

A shot is fired somewhere 

Another war begins 

And all because of it 

You'd think that we would learn 

But still the body count 

The city fires burn 

Somewhere there's someone dying 

In a foreign land 

Meanwhile the world is crying 

Stupidity of man 

Tell me why, tell me why 

Please tell me now what life is 

Please tell me now what love is 

Well, tell me now what ware is 

Again, tell me what life is 

Please tell me now what life is 

Please tell me now what love is 

Well, tell me now what war is 

Again, tell me what life is 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

Please tell me now what life is 

Please tell me now what love is 

Well, tell me now what war is 

Again, tell me what life is 

Please tell me now what life is 

Please tell me now what love is 

Well, tell me now what war is 

Again, tell me what life is 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

For the greater good of God 

He gave his life for us 

He fell upon the Cross 

To die for all of those 

Who never mourn His loss 

It wasn't meant for us 

To feel the pain again 

Tell me why, tell me why
